Sir Michael Hicks-Beach proposes

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach proposes to
remove the Irish tenants from the
places where they are living in pow
erty and restitution to other parts Of
Ireland where they will prosper. In
a few isolated cases this might relieve
individual hardship; but as a remedy
or settlement for the real trouble in
Ireland it is about as effective as trying
to cure Il mar of consumption by re-
lieving him of u headache. The pow
erty of these people is a symptom, not
a cause, and making a handful of them
prosperous here and there is not a set
clement of home rule, landlordism or
any of the grave evils in ireland. The
proposal is n fair measure OF the states
manship of the present ministry.

The governor, at a high license meet
ing Sunday night, declared that the
legislature was controlled by the saloon

by n Republican governor is not cal

ment in harmony. The Legislators re-
sent the charge with II good deal of

A new dining club, 10 diuer dc d.

Divorce is now so frequent that never
make it u rule TO ask a husband how
his absent wife is, or q wife unaccon-
panied by her husband about him. But
the great frequency is owing to a long
accumulation of legal separations. The
mayors and ~sub-mayors Of arondisse-
nionts are kept often for many hours

marrying couples who come to have
separations turned into divorces. The
life of u French lady separec de bIens
ct de corps is n miserable one, mas
much as the separation of property
can never in such a case be absolute,
and she is constantly obliged 10 ask the
husband, through an agent, to sign
papers. His power TO get her locked
up in prison does not cease because Of
separation, if he can show that 'his
name Is being d~ishonored." However,
no man Of honor troubles himself on
TINS point, but in his lower trading
classes the lives Of women who have
married ruilianly husbands and goS
separated from them are often made
miserable by the base sort of detectives

The law passed by the Michigan leg
islature, prohibiting the Pinkerton de-
tectives from operating in that state
ought to be initiated by all the states.
Properly speaking, it is a mcasur to
suppress naichism. There never was
a more reckless, irresponsible and
dangerous organization than the Pink
erton army. AS trurhfully said by a
Chicago contemporary, it is recruited
from a vagrant element Of wandering
and irresponsible men who have no
status anywhere aud are bungling only
for the dollars and opportunities which
their questionable service offers them.
No nor reckless or dangerous mob
of anarchists was eve turned loose on
communities than this same set OF So
called detectives marshaled under
Pinkerton's banner. Ostensibly organ
lied TO enforce the law and to protect
life and property they are the greatest
violators of law and the most danger
Gus set of people in this country.
Michigan has done wisely in barring
them out of that state. and other states
should now preserve their dignity and
protect the lives of citizens by adopt
ing the same law.
